Letters Patent No. 76,213, dated M'arch 31, 1868.

IMPROVEMENT IN SOAP.

Be it known that I, GEORGE W. LOVE, of the county of Jackson, in the State of Missouri, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Soup; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof.

To enable others shill ed in the art to make and use my invention, 1 will proceed todescribe the composition claimed, the ingredients, proportions, how incorporated, 520. V

The ingredients are as follows: Spirits of turpentine, one pint; alcohol, one pint; agna mnronia, two ounces, gum-camphor, one ounce; sal-sotla', one ounce; snltz tartar, two drachms; her-ax, one drachm.

The last three articles are to he dissolvedin two ounces of boiling water before being added to the other articles.

To one ounce of this compound I add one pound oi any good washing-soup, the same to be used as follows: First wet the clothes in cold water, and, after soaking, wring out. After this, soup the clothes with my compound, the laundress exercising proper'judgment as to quantity 0? compound to he used. Then soak half an hour in warm water and wring out again, not neglecting to rub the parts of clothing most soiled. After which boil the same (clothes) again for half an hour, and rinse, wring, and put them out on the line to dry.

Wash the colored clothes through the boiled suds of the white, which saves soap, or the composition.

This process saves nearly all of the ordinary-rubbing of clothes, or one-half the labor at least, and the work can be done in one-half the time, and clothes thus washed will be found to last one-third longer. The soap or composition will go further than the usual common soap, same quantity.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-

The combination of the several parts, as above named, to be used in connection with soap, for the purpose set forth.

GEO. W. LOVE.
